Questions about AA in Gardner

How many AA meetings are near Gardner?

31 inside 15 miles, across 9 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.

Can I find a meeting in Gardner on any day?

Every day. Thursday is the busiest with 6 meetings, and no day is empty.

What is the difference between an open and a closed meeting in Gardner?

Most of what is listed is closed rather than open: 15 closed against 1 open. Closed means it is for people who want to stop drinking themselves.

Which AA groups meet in Gardner?

2 groups listed in Gardner, and each one is linked above with the meetings it holds.

Will anyone find out that I went to a meeting in Gardner?

No. Any name you like is fine, including one that is not yours. The tradition is held by the people in the room rather than enforced by anyone, and in practice it is held seriously. Nobody in the room has any reason to learn your last name.

Do I need treatment as well as meetings?

No. Meetings are free and run by members; treatment is paid for and run by staff. Nobody at a meeting will advise you on medication, because nobody there is qualified to. The schedule above is the meeting side of that for Gardner.

Should my first meeting be online?

Yes, and the difference is practical rather than one being the proper version. People in rural areas often rely on online meetings because the nearest room is an hour away. If nothing nearby fits your hours, an online meeting is worth looking for.
